Method and system for disconnect procedure

摘要

A method (300) and system (100) for a disconnect procedure. In one arrangement, the method (300) can include the step of - during a call at a mobile unit (120) operating in accordance with the GSM standard - detecting (302) a downlink channel failure between the mobile unit (120) and a base station (110). The method (300) can also include the step of - in response to the downlink channel failure detection - signaling (304) the base station (110) from the mobile unit (120) with a disconnect message. The disconnect message can be configured to prevent the base station (110) from unnecessarily undergoing a base station timeout procedure.
